It took only five days to change Josiane for a lifetime
As Albert Einstein said, “The greatest weapon that a human kind possesses is his brain. The world as we have created it, is the process of our thinking, it cannot be changed without changing our thinking; he who changes his mind changes his world.”
It took only five days for Josiane’s life to make a huge turn around. It was through the five-day Empowered World View training. It changed her mind set and opened her mind to new possibilities.
Josiane is a 32-year-old mother of three. She lives with her husband, Dieudonne and children. Josiane is a tailor but she could use all the little profit she would make to cater for food for her family.
She did not think there was anything more to life. She thought that all she was capable of achieving in life was being able to meet the very basic needs of her life, food, and that was it.
“I always thought that I had no say about the future. I never thought I was capable of making any investment for my future. All I worked for was food and shelter,” she added.
Her children were struggling through their education because Josiane and her husband had nothing much to offer or so they believed. She said that the family had no plan for the future. They were just living one day at a time.
According to Josiane, attending the five-day Empowered World View training helped her understand what she was capable of achieving in life and how to utilize her potential. Her journey to a bright future started then.
“I understood that humans are slaves of their own mind, and then decided to free myself. I approached my husband and we set strategies on how to plan for our future. I educated my husband what I had learned through the five-day training and we started working towards the same goal,” shared Josiane.
Josiane continues to narrate, “We started to work together, save and later on invest. We invested in a shop and today we have so far built two rental houses that have increased our profit and income. I am now a role model in my community. If it wasn’t for World Vision’s Empowered World View program, I would never have discovered my potential.”
Josiane says that the program changed the way she sees the world, and she has started to train other people in her community, as a World Vision’s Volunteer.
She has a plan of buying a car in the near future, to facilitate her in her businesses. Her hope is that more people get a change to go through the Empowered World View training, as it would make a difference in the lives of families.
